:chin: ... Wuhhhauuu! Hi Mww, Metaphysics is not "speculative science", has nothing to do with science, speculative or not. Agree it is pure speculati...

Easy question: If you put it on a metaphysical context, there are as many answers as metaphysical definitions of "reality" and "observer". You can get...

Do you think a farmer would consider wolves that kill his sheep innocent? The rights of wolves end where our human individual/community/social interes...

The word natural has many connotations and in this case, in order to elucidate your confusion I strongly advice you to revise the importance of the fi...

So you say that enactivism considers "us" outside nature? Another kind of dualism? That is not what enactivism is about.

Science fields feed each other. Physics helps biology and the other way around... I don't see what is your point within this discussion. Are you sayin...

I don't think "usurped" is the right word. The whole science has usurped many philosophical fields... but biology and social science are just differen...

Not only Aristotle's but Kant and any metaphysics. Philosophers just try to reinvent and redefine metaphysics again and again. It is like a philosophi...

Do any of you know anything about topological quantum science? Try it and it will blow your mind on what is logical and illogical. The more we talk to...

In principle it makes sense to put together the branch of philosophy that tries to understand nature of things with the one that tells you what can be...

Hi philosophers, we have started a "Philosophy of mind" group in Discord's "Philosophy Bookclub" channel. We'll start reading the book of Christof Koc...

On November 15th we'll start with informal introductions and we'll start talking about our concepts, definitions of consciousness. We'll close by agre...

I haven't experienced this biases but with all the positive-discrimination that I'm seeing recently for women I would not be surprised. I like to thin...

Right. And do you insist QM is not probabilistic? Yes, sorry, CERN. I insist, it is not about "click", but if you like to think on a "click", up to yo...
February 02, 2021 at 22:08
You're mixing up so many things here that I can tell you there is nothing else closer than aesthetics. Breaking-up your points: "externalise and proje...
February 02, 2021 at 21:52
This mistake makes clear you haven't studied QM or don't understand it. You're mixing up Schrodinger equations and wave equations. See wave function d...
February 02, 2021 at 21:41
Yes, there is, formulas in QM are probabilistic in the base but can become deterministic depending on the value of the factors. What makes QM differen...

I recognize "ontology" is a metaphysical word but I use it on purpose to provoke a discussion :wink: Regarding your comment, keep in mind that even me...

Right! and this is why science will never stop investigating :wink: Researches do not have the intention of knowing anything. Actually scientists are ...

What is already something :wink: Someone could say same thing of dualist or materialist, physicists as a reaction too simplistic to explain any of the...
February 02, 2021 at 12:49
You do not conceive reality as being probabilistic? It could be a scientific certification that ontologically reality is undetermined. Science saying ...

you say that, I say they re not contradictory. Where is the judge, we need averedict :grin: Nevertheless, who tells you that what our limited human in...

Using just words? Quite herme-tic as well, isn't it? Your intuitions and language are aggregates of problem solving that you learnt while you grow up ...

Because one is the basis to explains the very big things, the macro (general relativity). I tis the basis to explain the Big bang for example. The oth...
February 02, 2021 at 09:01
Right, one thing is to explain the physics of the universe and another thing is to explain the "human". There is a still a disconnect, an epistemic ga...

What about the superposition principle? Incoherent state of particles? I have to insist here, I see this happening in other artificial systems we huma...

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, seriously. I'm not a bad person but I'm not a diplomat either :grin: But if you, metaphysicians, are right, those 2...

This brings to my mind "The Selfish Gene" of Dawkins. I think biological systems are pure fascist national-socialism. Too late for me to argue this fu...

I think luck deals with probability. We use "luck" when something happens that had very low probability to happen. It could be then assessed as good o...

Chapeau!
January 31, 2021 at 23:47
And I think you still are. Your theory is a good proof of it. You tend to appear you bring everything into your eclectic potpourri as I said and you d...

Man, this is so vague. This point is the core of you post, you should have a more solid description of the laws of Reason. Which are those? I guess th...

Of course it is a philosophical matter but scientific as well, at least this is what think those contemporary philosophers that go hand-by-hand with s...

Of course immaterialism is true. This is a scientific evidence since Maxwell and Einstein. Matter is not everything. You dualists keep using the world...
